Surf Kayak Options - Informal Poll

AirWave & Kwikle
are both form the Great Lakes, though theirs may be a little “greater” than your lake. :wink:



Choppier/sloppier/smaller stuff favors a longer boat than a shorter boat for speed to catch rides. If you have nice clean, steep faces, the shorter higher performance surf boats come into play better.



Heck, I guess if I were to stick to white water boats in your area for surfing, I would take the long Jive, A Rip, or an old Riot Hammer for the length and slightly greater speed. For a clean, glassy, steep face day, I’d pull out one of the following shorter boats equipped with fins – Riot Trickster, Prankster or Techno, Drago Rossi’s Fish, or Dagger Kingpin. A Necky Zip, Witch/SWitch have nice edges for surf but no fins.
